so i have this sub box for 2x cheap 10s in my trunk (no amp is needed :mrgreen: ). was wondering if the 10 degree ambient inside the trunk will affect the speakers because i would rather not blow them too soon (I am expecting to blow them though, just not before summer)

so do standard subs mind -10 to 25F degree temps? should i try not to pound them much until things warm up?

Pounding a woofer at cold temps is definitely harmful to their health!
Let them warm up!

heh well not exactly like i'm running a 1kW amp or anything, only running 52w RMS to each 750w-max subs, so it doesnt really pound until volume is at 35/50 or better but i shall keep in mind! also, today is currently 8F
